Miss Christmas (2017) Reviews

• You Know How It Will End

  Christmas-Reviewer2017-11-08

  I Have Reviewed OVER 400 ( C H R I S T M A S ) MOVIES so beware of fake reviews & reviewers. Many Christmas films only have 1 review. When it's a POSITIVE REVIEW chances are that the reviewer was involved with the production. If its a negative review then they may have a huge grudge against the film. I am fare about these films. The only reason why I review them is to keep track of what "I have seen". In this film A lovely lady Nicknamed "Miss Christmas," the official tree finder for Chicago's renowned Radcliffe Tree lighting is left desperate to find the perfect tree. A letter from a young boy promising his tree is perfect sends her to a small town where she learns the young boy's dad isn't willing to part with his tree. Now any Christmas Film that has a "One Horse Open Sleigh" scene is almost guaranteed to get a rave review from me. Now what I like about this film is shows us how "Christmas Traditions" in your childhood get carried over when your an adult. In fact you miss the people that you lost the most at Christmas Time. Now this wasn't the greatest Hallmark Movie however the leads are pleasant. The film has faults but most films do. I will watch it again Merry Christmas

  Run of the mill production from Hallmark. In this film a woman who is in charge of a towns Christmas Tree Festival must look for a new tree when the one she wanted is no longer available. The tree finder is Chicago's renowned Radcliffe Tree lighting is left desperate to find the perfect tree. A letter from a boy promising his tree is perfect sends her to a small town where she learns his dad isn't willing to part with the tree. When she arrives in town she finds out the owner of the tree doesn't want her to have it. Heart warming feature. Give it a shot! Now there is someone here attacking another reviewer. I trust his/hers views. They have been on IMDb for years. I looked at what the reviewer has "Claimed". There are many films that have reviews and the reviewer has only reviewed that film! I looked at his/her reviews and they are never "rude". I think someone on this board got called out on their behavior!

• If you're a fan of Hallmark movies, I definitely recommend this one!

  When you choose to watch a Hallmark movie, you know exactly what to expect. These movies may not have the most original plot line, but you know that you'll walk away with a warm heart and smile on your face. Miss Christmas does exactly that. There were the typical clichés, but this movie stood out to me because it wasn't as awkward or inorganic. The actors had great chemistry, and the family aspect really stood out. This movie was very uplifting and joyous. If you enjoy watching these types of movies, I definitely recommend this one!

• As with all Hallmark Christmas movies, you know how it will end.

  This one is no different. Hallmark churns these out like they have an assembly line. Grab a producer; then a director. Look thru the inventory of available actors (they pretty much use the same pool of about 25) and take the next three in the queue and book them. Make sure at least the producer or the screen writer and one of the movie leads is from Canada. That way you get the tax breaks from the Canadian Film Commission. That's why They shoot these in Canada. This one takes place in Klaus, Wisconsin? Don't think so. Doesn't exist. Unfortunately, they shoot their Christmas movies (like this one) in July and August. Hardly the snow season, hence the wet streets, free of snow and the fake stuff sitting on bushes and sidewalks. In this one, stock footage is used for wide shots of snow-covered towns and forests, except where the son is finding and cutting his first tree. Look at his feet and you can see the soap suds blowing around his feet. Hallmark does shoot some of its movies in cold locations, where you can actually see the actor's breath frosting as they speak. The movie "Christmas Cookies" is a good example, but that was shot in Utah. Nothing new happens in this movie. There are no surprises and there really is no drama. You know exactly what's going to happen and it does. Slight twist at the end, but nothing that's going to make you spill your milk and cookies while you watch. The only technical glitch was when he showed her the initials carved in the tree by his parents some 30 odd years ago. Just as clear and crisp as if they have just been carved, when, in reality, the chemical makeup of the tree would have treated that carving as a wound to its bark and would have secreted a chemical to heal itself, and after 30 years, made the carving unrecognizable. But hey, it's Hallmark, and if you watch the credits roll, the one crew member you don't see is a continuity director. BTW, it's "Fair", not "Fare". 'Fare' is a fee you pay for travel. And "Steal", not "Steel." 'Steel' is what you get when you add carbon to molten iron.

• Little things add up

  From the start of this movie I kept being impressed by the little things. Say what you like about the acting or the story or the production, and I will, but these things are the sum of how the story teller masters the little things. You could tell quickly that Brooke D'Orsay was going to convince us how wonderful Christmas is. And you could tell that she and Marc Blucas were going to connect. They did the little flirty things and the uncertainty, but most of all they did the emotions. And they kept doing it through the whole movie. Luke Roessler did his part too, as the 8 year old that sent the letter that started it all. The director didn't overwhelm us with him - his part was just right. The story did the little things too. We had most, if not all, of the Christmas traditions like hot chocolate and decorating. The story gave us the heart felt emotions of a man who finds again the Christmas that his late mom loved, and the woman who finds again what home is. And just when we thought there would be no surprise, we get that too (if the TV previews didn't give it away) and the story teller presented that well too, including a sweet little speech. I'm sure that there will be those who find this movie too sappy, or too much by formula, or too something. But this is a Hallmark Christmas romance movie. Sit down and expect just that and then watch as the story unfolds sweetly using all the little things of Christmas tradition and love.
